One of a pair of upright posts — a dorm job (anag) (8)

I believe the answer is:

doorjamb

(Other definitions for doorjamb that I've seen before include "Side post at entrance" , "Post beside entrance" , "Side-piece at entrance" , "Entrance sidepost" , "Side of an entrance's framework" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
